Just used a quick calculator online, 120v at .5a is only 60watts, you should be fine even with the truck off in 100watt, I’d still keep it idling to limit battery drain for the extended timeframe

Thank you!

 

[StormtrooperPRO]

Thank you!

No problem!

 

[Johnnytwotimes]

Tank vs trip fuel average economy. What’s the difference?

 

[StormtrooperPRO]

Tank is the total since last fill up, trip average is if you select trip A or B so you can track your average over a longer length of time or shorter if you wanted

 

[Johnnytwotimes]

The KO2's are worth their cost, in my opinion. Not sure if they are worth the premium over other tires, but I prefer to skimp on other things.

What do you recommend for 80% road 20% OR KO2s or Wild peaks?

 

[Biohazard]

That much off road?
KO2's would be my choice.

 

[Johnnytwotimes]

Lol I’m getting carried away probably 10% I’m a weekend warrior just got the truck a month ago. Not planning on changing tires anytime soon either but thanks for the future reference.

 

[Biohazard]

I've been super happy with ice, snow, road, and off-road function with my ko2's. I liked them so much I put them on my wife's Gx470, which saw almost no off-road usage.

I think you'll be happy with either tire.

Currently I've got an Icon Stage 4 kit, "17 Method 701s, CMC plates, a C4 hybrid front bumper, and a set of 285/75/17s sitting in my apartment almost ready to go on the truck. Would you recommend doing the CMC first or starting with the lift and identifying where the rubbing is prior to cutting and massaging plastic?

What'd your offset? I just got the same suspension. Looking forward to your build

just got a 2019 tacoma trd off road. its currently on the stock wheels (16's). I got a Supreme 3 inch front/1 inch rear spacer lift with 1.25 inch wheel spacers. Im seeing alot of different answers and dont know what to believe. Whats the biggest tire i can run? and what would look best? any pics with what you all are running? I wont be doing much major off-road. Mainly trails and service roads to camping spots, camping on the beach and in the winter driving in the mountains to snowboard, other than that its my DD.

 

[Biohazard]

33's. (285-75-16).

 

[mrfoxxy]

Whats the biggest size 17" tire i could fit with out having to cut?

 

[StormtrooperPRO]

For 33’s you’ll need to cut and hammer and likely cmc.

How do yall feel about the spacer lift? I ran one on my WJ and and didnt have any isses, it was great for the price but the jeep wasnt nearly as much as the tacoma. I made sure to get the diff drop.

In this thread, there are no stupid questions. Ask whatever question you need to know about your truck, wheeling, etc. without the stress of being judged or trolled.

For those answering: Give a no-bullshit proper answer/advice to the questions. I don’t care if they’re asking why their push-to-start won’t work. Just tell them that they need their foot on the brake.

I took delivery of my 2021 DCLB TRD Sport Wind Chill Pear last week. The truck has 575 miles on it now and for the most part I’m very pleased with it. I do have what I believe is a problem.... when I back the truck out of the garage if I touch the steering wheel at all the truck surges with RPM increasing to 1300 to 1500 which may not sound like a lot but it is. The first couple times really surprised me and now I’m ready for it. Also when you start the truck the steering wheel moves 1-2” either direction. Haven’t called the dealership yet......
in my 66 years I’ve come to learn if it’s happened to me it’s happened to others.....
What do you think, normal or a problem?

Thanks, Dave

The increased rpms sounds appropriate (power steering needed the extra juice to function). The shuddering of the steering wheel when you're starting it sounds a bit odd.

Thanks Bio the steering wheel moves about an inch +\- and only once at startup. As for the surging at least now I expect it and be ready......

33's. (285-75-16).

Will I have to cut to fit 285/75/16s? and also, should I go ahead and replace needle bearing with ECGS bushing?

 

[shotgunbilly420]

im on a 3in leveling kit and i have 285\75\16 bfg km3's and i have not rubbed ever now if your stock not sure i know stock no lift i didnt rub with 265\75\16

 

[Oc Taco Charlie Beach Bum]

I need a new name, seems like everyone has a cool name these days on the forum.

 

[ev_santillano]

I’ve been giving myself headaches these past couple weeks researching tires and it just hit me that I’m not even sure if 265/75R16 tire will fit on my stock rims. Anyone have an answer? Stock size is 245/75R16. I added a picture of my factory wheel for reference.

265/75-16 is a 31.6in tire that is 10.4in wide. You will be fine

 

[shotgunbilly420]

I second that . I put 265's on my stock tacoma trd offroad 2017

Wanting new coils and shocks, what kind for 3 inch of lift? Looks like the 5100 are only for 2-2.5 but I’m wanting at least 3 inch. Ideas?

 

[shotgunbilly420]

i believe rough country 3in front and 2in rear and super cheap probably save you enough money to get upgraded shocks look at it as a budget build and yes the front will be a spacer lift now I have had mine on for over 60,000 miles and im happy oh the rear is just a add-a-leaf or helper spring whatever you want to call it

 

[shotgunbilly420]

fyi im running 285\75\16 and have never rubbed even in 4wheel drive flexed

 

[shotgunbilly420]

i have never replaced that needle bearing and my truck is 2017 with 111,000 + miles on it im original owner also

Cool. I currently have a 3 inch spacer lift, but worried about blowing my stock suspension out. Are the would it be worth going ahead and getting the lifted strut and coil N3 assembly?
